Gorilla 16,800 mAh Battery Pack w/LED Screen

Abominably Convenient

For your gadgets, your depleted gadgets, the Li-ion charges tonight.

If there was an animal who could keep your gadgets charged, you'd want it to combine the toughness and intelligence of a gorilla with the power and agility of a lion. But as awesome as it sounds, this ligonilla wouldn't be as awesome as it sounds.

For one thing, it'd be an abomination of nature, a hubristic loogie hocked at the very face of God. For another, imagine the smell. And keeping it fed? Forget about it. Between the bananas and the fresh antelope meat, you'd go bankrupt.

The few. The proud. The waterproof.

Okinawa. Guadalcanal. The shores of Tripoli. Wherever you're heading for summer fun, storm the beach with an expeditionary force of the finest fighting speakers known to man: the Pyle Marines.

A little moisture won't stop them from delivering lethal sonic power from virtually any Bluetooth-enabled device. Shock-proof and traveling light, these devil dogs are built for this. Trained for this. Hungry for this.

This is your speaker. There are many like it, but this Pyle Waterproof Speaker is yours. It is your best friend. It is your life. It must master wireless sound as you must master your life. So be it, until rockin' tunes are yours and there is no silence.

The Trivial Eye: Foreign Posters for Hollywood Movies

These days, the posters for Hollywood movies usually look pretty much the same everywhere, except for the language. But there was a time when it was more common for local distributors and exhibitors put together their own posters to appeal to local audiences. And their re-imaginings can be more interesting than the movies themselves. Sometimes they'd interpret the movie's theme symbolically. Sometimes they'd latch on to some detail that the American producers considered secondary. Sometimes they'd take a completely different tone or visual style. And sometimes they'd make some crap up and hope it got people in the door. Can you recognize any of these well-known Hollywood flicks from their foreign posters?

There Can Be Only Pun: Boozy Board Games

You guys, I have an addiction. I'm addicted to puns. I need them. I can't get enough of them. I HUNGER FOR THEM. That's why I've set up this weekly blog feature: so you guys can feed my addiction. Every week, I'll name the topic, give you some examples, and then you'll pun away in the comments, on Facebook, or on Twitter. I'll choose the best ones and post them here next week. Sound good? Good! Let's do it!

THIS WEEK'S EPISODE: Boozy Board Games!

In July of last year, we did Boozy Video Games. Now, we're doing Boozy Board Games. Choose a booze (brand or generic), choose a board game, and have at it. Here's our examples. We have five… because… umm… we came up with too many good ones…

Your Choice: Philips LED HDTV w/ NetTV

Intelligence

Wait, that's what "smart" means?

Dear Princeton,

I was very displeased to receive your rejection of admission, but instead of wallowing in despair, I decided instead to reach out to you and request that you reconsider.

Here is my reasoning: I imagine that many factors played into my rejection, but none more paramount than my low GPA and standardized test scores. These things might together tell you that I am not smart. But let's look at a different definition smart, a more recent, more cutting-edge definition: the one Philips uses for their Smart TVs.

Dyson DC41 Bagless Vacuum - Purple

Introducing BABYMETAL

If you haven't heard this band, you're about to

What's the worst part of vacuuming? That's right -- not being able to listen to music. Even if you're rocking a relatively quiet 'cuum like this Dyson DC41 upright bagless, you're still not going to be able to hear your favorite tunes over the hum of the motor. 

What you need is some music that manages, through sheer sonic force, to penetrate the decibel drone of the Dyson and help you pass the time while you clean. Death metal, while acoustically penetrating, fails to provide the "enjoyment" one seeks. Japanese girl pop, while catchy and pleasing, fails to pierce sonically. 

Music Monday: Songs With Too Much Plot

Happy Music Monday! Today Scott's jumping in to the huge mess that is story songs. Everyone knows at least one song with way, way, way too much plot. But are there five? Well, sadly… yes. And you're about to endure them. Let's start with a "classic" of the "genre"...

Kenny Rogers - Coward Of The County

 

OtterBox Armor Waterproof Cases for Apple/Samsung

Am I Otter Not?

Less fun than a box of otters, but less cryptosporidium infections, too.

Why would you need a waterproof case for your smartphone? Six possible reasons:

  1. Your job expects you to be reachable at all times, even while wakeboarding.
  2. To be ready to Instagram your imminent discovery of Atlantis.
  3. You're at your best in conference calls in the shower.
  4. Your coworkers relieve stress with impromptu soy-sauce fights.
  5. You are an anthropomorphized entity made entirely of water, like TLC in the "Waterfalls" video, but way less hot, let's be for real.
  6. Your job writing lists of dumb jokes means you spend a lot of time crying.

Samsung 2.1 Bluetooth Sound Bar with Sub

Raise The Bar

You know, this sound bar is MUCH easier on my liver than my regular bar was.

Used to be that, after work, I'd go out to a bar and do some shots! Today, though, I can't wait to get home to my Samsung 2.1 BT Soundbar and listen to the sound of all my favorite vodkas, bourbons and ryes.

The glurg of a rum! The guzzling noise of a vodka! The snap and pop of an ice cube in whiskey! All this and more is what I hear through the magic of the 3D Sound Plus power.

You know what else I hear? The sound of my bank account getting fatter! I had no IDEA how much money I was spending on cocktails every week!

Samsung Galaxy Note 8" Tablet w/ Pouch

Feeling Included

When buying the tablet, it's not just about the tablet you buy. It's also about what's included with it.

Before deciding on including a pouch with this Samsung Galaxy Note 8" Tablet, we considered several other options. Here's what was on the drawing board:

Samsung Galaxy Note 8" Tablet w/Slouch: When we originally proposed this idea, it was, hey, people can be lazy and slouching while using the tablet and won't feel bad because the tablet will be slouching too. Turns out, though, that when a tablet is slouching, it messes up the way the light hits it or something, and you can't see what's on the screen clearly.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8" Tablet w/Couch: Who doesn't love a new couch!? A couch to go with a tablet? Even better! But the shipping people shut down that idea saying it wouldn't make a profit or some crap like that.
